Iconic Buildings In Austin<\/h1>\n

Texas State Capitol<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Texas Capitol, in Austin<\/a>, was designed<\/a> to create a big impression when it was first built in 1888 (it replaced a smaller building that had been destroyed by fire in 1881). It is somewhat taller than the structure that houses our country\u2019s legislature and is constructed in a neo-Renaissance style that was modeled after the U.S. Capitol. It includes the domes, columns, plasterwork, and pediments typical of classical architecture. The bright, pinkish granite used in the state Capitol\u2019s construction is one of its most distinctive features<\/a>. It produces a distinctive hue that is exclusive to the nation\u2019s capitol buildings.<\/p>\n

The Main Tower at the University of Texas and the Texas Capitol were the two most recognizable structures in the Austin<\/a> skyline for a long time. It was finished in 1937 and was planned by renowned<\/a> French-born architect Paul Philippe Cret, who also created the Beaux-Arts plan for the university\u2019s main campus. The main staircase is made of West Texas marble and the door frames are made of locally mined limestone.<\/p>\n

The incredibly well-preserved Caswell House is a City of Austin<\/a> Historic Landmark, a Texas Historic Landmark, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The stunning Victorian structure has long been a favorite<\/a> for Austin weddings and gatherings, especially in the winter when its opulent inside areas are the most useful.<\/p>\n

Driskill Hotel<\/h2>\n

In 1886, the Driskill was constructed for a cattle baron. Shortly after, he appears to have lost it in a card game, but the vintage grandiosity, repeatedly restored, is still mostly there. It was Austin<\/a>\u2018s finest and greatest hotel for many years, and to some extent, it still is. Politicians, socialites, and other affluent or prominent individuals used the hotel as a gathering spot. Visit its stunning<\/a> lobby, enjoy a beverage at its renowned bar, and take in the seriously historic atmosphere.<\/p>\n
